Twenty-First Century Disability
Let's be honest. Life with a disability can be difficult. Luckily, we are living in the twenty-first century. This podcast is about how living in the modern world has helped people with disabilities to have fairly "normal" lives. Join me as we explore why this is and as I try to look at disability from a social model perspective and change how the world sees disability.

The History of the Wheelchair Part 2: How to get a wheelchair!
In this episode of Twenty-First Century Disability, we take a deep dive into the world of occupational therapy. Amanda Sutherland, who is my occupational therapist here at Saint Vincent Bruyère, helps us to understand just how complicated a process it is to purchase a new chair for any patient. As an example we discuss just how many bumps we have had to overcome to get me in my new wheelchair.
